| Like glacial terminal moraines, these population groups represented deposits resulting from four centuries of immigration. |
|
| Heather holds sandy moraines together, its pink and white bells shivering in a breath of breeze. |
|
| We have identified seven such lateral moraines that were overridden by the expansion and growth of the Fennoscandian ice sheet. |
|
| Wetlands may overlie important groundwater aquifers, especially on moraines, eskers, and fluvioglacial deposits. |
|
| The hinges of folded debris layers crop out on the glacier surface as flow-parallel medial moraines, with axes dipping gently up-glacier. |
|
| Gardens fill the bottom of Torment Basin, ringed by moraines, scoured rock, and living ice. |
|
| This relationship suggests that the area of transverse moraines formed below the ice mass that remained in north-central Ireland following early deglaciation. |
|
| Terminal or end moraines are formed at the foot or terminal end of a glacier. |
|
| The estuary is shallowest at its mouth, where terminal glacial moraines or rock bars form sills that restrict water flow. |
|
| In the southern part of the peninsula, the glaciers deposited vast numbers of terminal moraines, configuring a very chaotic landscape. |
|
| Lateral moraines are formed at the side of the ice flow and terminal moraines at the foot, marking the maximum advance of the glacier. |
|
| These moraines are composed of supraglacial sediments from the ice surface. |
|
| Several processes may combine to form and rework a single moraine, and most moraines record a continuum of processes. |
|
| Multiple lateral moraines may develop as the glacier advances and retreats. |
|
| In alpine glaciers, ground moraines are often found between the two lateral moraines. |
|
| Lateral moraines are parallel ridges of debris deposited along the sides of a glacier. |
|
| It appears that moraines and groovings, exactly resembling those of the Alpine regions, are found in all those districts. |
|
| There are many lakes and moraines, legacies of the last glacial period, which ended about ten millennia ago. |
|
| These also confirm the linkage between ice ages and continental crust phenomena such as glacial moraines, drumlins, and glacial erratics. |
|
| The erratic boulders, till, drumlins, eskers, fjords, kettle lakes, moraines, cirques, horns, etc. |
|
|
|
| They also abrade rock and debris from their substrate to create landforms such as cirques and moraines. |
|
| Glacial moraines are formed by the deposition of material from a glacier and are exposed after the glacier has retreated. |
|
| Rogen moraines or ribbed moraines are a type of basal moraines that form a series of ribs perpendicular to the ice flow in an ice sheet. |
|
| The depressions between the ribs are sometimes filled with water, making the Rogen moraines look like tigerstripes on aerial photographs. |
|
| End moraines, or terminal moraines, are ridges of unconsolidated debris deposited at the snout or end of the glacier. |
|
| Glaciers act much like a conveyor belt, carrying debris from the top of the glacier to the bottom where it deposits it in end moraines. |
|
| Recessional moraines are small ridges left as a glacier pauses during its retreat. |
|
| Recessional moraines are often observed as a series of transverse ridges running across a valley behind a terminal moraine. |
|
| They form perpendicular to the lateral moraines that they reside between and are composed of unconsolidated debris deposited by the glacier. |
|
| Supraglacial moraines are created by debris accumulated on top of glacial ice. |
|
| Glacial moraines on the volcano formed about 70,000 years ago and from about 40,000 to 13,000 years ago. |
|
| Secondly, the location and dates of terminal moraines tell us the areal extent and retreat of past ice sheets. |
|
| Immediately west are Primera Angostura and Segunda Angostura, narrows formed by two terminal moraines of different ages. |
|
| The surface of the peninsula is generally level, broken by conical hills and glacial moraines usually not more than a few hundred feet tall. |
|
| According to Heaton Cooper, the tarn is held in the moraines left by two glaciers moving down each valley. |
|
| Retreat moraines lower in the river valley can be seen around Gunnerside and Grinton Bridge. |
|
| Ground moraines may be modified into drumlins by the overriding ice. |
|
| Less apparent are ground moraines, also called glacial drift, which often blankets the surface underneath the glacier downslope from the equilibrium line. |
|
| The tarn is prevented from following what would appear the natural line of drainage into Miterdale by moraines, and empties southward, reaching the Esk at Beckfoot. |
|
| Medial moraines are formed when two different glaciers merge and the lateral moraines of each coalesce to form a moraine in the middle of the combined glacier. |
|
|
|
| These deposits include glacial till, sand and gravel and both terminal and recessional moraines left by receding ice sheets at the end of the last ice age. |
|
| Boulder clay is also abundant and moraines cover substantial areas. |
|
| Lateral moraines stand high because they protect the ice under them from the elements, causing it to melt or sublime less than the uncovered parts of the glacier. |
|
| Passive processes involve the placing of chaotic supraglacial sediments onto the landscape with limited reworking, typically forming hummocky moraines. |
|
| Glaciers carry a wide range of sediment sizes, and deposit it in moraines. |
|
| The remains of these plants have been preserved in layers of ancient peat, which were in turn buried by the boulder clay left by glacial moraines. |
|
| Exceptions to this trend are caused by the release of far-traveled carbonates from the englacial load of glaciers during formation of end moraines. |
|
| After the continental glacier withdrawal into the NW direction, Neris and Voke rivers have erosionally cut across the Baltic phase frontal moraines range. |
|
| It created much of the surface geology of southern Canada and the northern United States, leaving behind glacially scoured valleys, moraines, eskers and glacial till. |
|
| Modern geologists surmise that these formations of clay, gravel and rocks are moraines formed by the action of melting glaciers end of the last ice age. |
